[Q] Screen touching problems [SOLVED] - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having some trouble with my X10i. Specifically using the touch screen itself. A lot of the time when i'm doing something and i release my thumb from the screen, the phone will continue to behave as though my thumb was still pressed on the screen.
This is more noticable when i'm typing an SMS (and other keyboard related activities). For example, i'll press the backspace button once to delete a letter but the phone will continue to hold the backspace until i press it again. I've tried various keyboards and have the same problem still. Another is using the XMBC remote, for example, i'll press the left button, let go and the phone will continue to assume that the button is still being pressed and just keep going.
There are other apps that have this problem too so i'm going to assume that there is something wrong with the screen itself. What i'm wondering if it is something I can solve by wiping the phone (reluctant to but will if necessary), calibrating somehow, or another method.. Or if it is a problem with the hardware itself and will have to get sent away for fixes.

Same freaking problem here and I don't know what to do about it

change build.prop in this line:
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=80
this is what i have see yours
if you dont have this line create at the bottom of the document (ADITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES)

I've added the line to the bottom via root explorer, rebooted and have tried to recreate the scenarios. So far I haven't noticed the problem yet so i'll assume for now that the problem has been solved (if it hasn't, i'll return )
So thank you very much for your help rendeiro2005. Much appreciated.

Use Root Explorer, on the top left corner select "Mount as r,w" then go to:
/System
Long press on build.prop and select Open in text editor...
Then manually write that line, click on Menu then Save and Exit.
Reboot the phone

[Q] Stock SMS App - SalsaSense-1.3 Beta

Hi everyone.
I am using the SalsaSense ROM. I am unable to post in that thread because I am new here, so I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me.
In the stock SMS app there is the option to delete old messages once a limit has been reached. I installed the ROM, recovered my messages, and enabled the option in the stock app with the limit set at 200. But my old messages are not being deleted. With one contact I have 7k+ messages, and since enabling the option I have sent and received several messages with them. When I had Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.6 installed beforehand, following these steps was enough to provoke it to keep my inbox in check. But not now.
Is this a problem with the ROM, or the stock app, or am I just unlucky?
I'm hoping someone here may have come across this and can help me out.
Many thanks, BurnseyBoi
I think you've been unlucky. It sounds like a ROM problem since it's beta.
You could delete them using an app like SuperSMS Delete (I think it's that).
Yeah, guess I'll just have to wait for an update to it. I had a look round the market and found the app you were referring to. Worked a charm, thanks very much! Now my phone is a bit speedier.
Yeah i noticed this, unfortunately its a problem with the ROM. I've got a lot of issues to iron out so it takes me a while to solve each one, rest assured though it will be fixed

I love this ROM! I forgot how much I missed the little Sense features and looks. My friend just got himself a Sensation, which is where I got the idea to browse around for a Sense ROM. Many thanks!

I'm trying to follow the build.prop editing suggestion, but adb doesn't list my phone under connected devices. I've tried while the phone is on, and in recovery.
Is there another way of successfully editing it?
Yeah, you can use Root Explorer from the Market. ES File explorer may work too, look in the app's settings for Root options.
Navigate to the directory with the build.prop and long press and I think there's an edit option if you use Root Explorer. Then you can just edit as you would normally via the phone.
Thanks! I already had ES File Explorer, didn't realise it had root options though.
Made both changes that JieeHD suggested, then powered it off and back on. I've never seen my phone go from power button to lock screen that fast in the 2 years I've had it! I definitely notice a speed improvement from making those changes. Everything just feels sharper and more responsive.
Many thanks!

Swap has been set to use a partition, so you'll have to change it back to using an image file.
I'm going from memory here, but use root explorer to edit /etc/uruk.conf/swap. You have to comment(add a #) swap_mem_partition=/dev/block/mmcblk1p4 and uncomment(remove the #) swap_mem_file=/swap01.file.
Then you can use urukconfig to enable it and change the size and swappiness.
Hi, can you just give me the whole things of comment and steps? I don't know how to edit in root explorer and where should I do the comments. Im really stupid in these things man please help me.... sorry to ask you alot.... have a good day.

Open root explorer. Navigate to /etc/uruk.conf. Press and hold on "swap" until the menu comes up. Scroll down and select "Open in Text Editor". Add a "#" to "swap_mem_partition=/dev/block/mmcblk1p4" It should look like this:
Code:
# swap_mem_partition=/dev/block/mmcblk1p4
Then remove the # from "# swap_mem_file=/swap01.file" and "# swap_mem_size=50" so it looks like this:
Code:
swap_mem_size=50
swap_mem_file=/swap01.file
Then enable swap in Urukconfig. In the future, check the wiki first, it may help.

Swap is extra space the system can use as RAM. It doesn't work exactly the same though. For instance, if you set a 1 gig swap file, so the system theoretically has 1.25 GB of ram, it will still not act like it. In my experience, I've only seen 5-10 megs of swap space used, then the system starts killing background apps again, so I set my swap to 50MB and forget about it. Someone else may have more details on how the system actually uses the swap. I have a feeling apps don't use swap, only the underlying unix framework, but I've never really cared enough to look into it. Also, keep in mind that using solid-state storage for swap will reduce the life of the storage, since the system is constantly reading and writing to that portion of it(solid-state storage will crap out after a certain number of write cycles, it's hard to say how badly swap will affect this though).
Sounds like more hassle than its worth. Is there that much of an improvement in overall performance to warrant the effort?.

It just depends on how you use your device. On the newest stock firmware, when I start watching a video in the stock video player, it will kill Launcher Pro in the background. If I enable swap, it doesn't kill it. But playing a game like Gun Bros will always kill LP in the background. If you frequently have the launcher restarting(reloading all your widgets) when you go back to home, you should probably give it a shot. If you're on Uruk, it's not hard to enable, just have to edit one file with a text editor, and you can do it in root explorer.
Thank you. I am a long time looking for a way how to make the swap work

Let us know if that fixes it or not. Being rooted or not has no bearing on whether copy n paste functions work or not.
It took me a while to get use to this.
But this is working for me.
CTRL+X and
CTRL+V
I'm doing this right now from the slightly buggy Chrome
Beta that is bugging out as I try to type this.
Just remember that you have to first select over a word with your cursor in a text box window by holding down on it for a second until the double blue arrow appears so you can adjust your selection. Then the cut, copy, or paste keyboard command should work.

Titanium Backup missing Batch command

I have a new Galaxy Note running ICS, successfully rooted and with Titanium Backup installed.
TB opens fine and appears to be in order, but I have no "Batch" command. I've read support pages and watched YouTube videos; the option simply isn't in the menu as it should be. Can anyone offer any suggestions, please?
Click on backup/restore and then press the menu button where by it will show you the batch option for backup and restore.

Thanks, but I'm afraid no, it doesn't! The backup/restore menu offers me:

Reboots the device
but not "batch" :crying:
Its the ICON on the top with a rectangle and an arrow symbol on it. Just before the ICS context menu.
The icon on the top of what?!
I'm attaching three screenshots, one showing the backup/Restore screen, the other two showing its menu.

Star! Thank you VERY much. Problem solved, with gratitude @
Two separate tutorials that I watched on YouTube must've been older versions as their menus looked totally different, plus everything I've read and watched indicated that Batch was part of the menu, which of course is actually isn't! I also managed to discover myself, luckily, that I don't have a "Run the batch operation" command either, just a tiny gren tick!
Cheers again :laugh:

[MOD] Enable Camera Shutter Sound Menu

Since the Note 3 is new, and so far, there is only one custom Rom, I've seen the "how do I disable camera sounds" question asked a few times.
I'm sure your favorite developer will incorporate this feature, into future Roms, like they have in the past, for previous devices. This is mainly for us impatient noobs.
You must be rooted. Using a root explorer, navigate to /system/csc. Backup your feature.xml. Navigate to /system/csc/SPR/system/csc. Copy feature.xml. Navigate back to /system/csc. Paste the new file, over writing the old one. Open the new feature.xml, scroll to the camera section, and change:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</
CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
to:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</
CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Save, exit,
Set permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot
Note: I used 'Root Explorer'. ES File Explorer may also work.
Here is a list of potential csc parameters, gathered from other phones. I didn't create this list. I found it about a year ago, and thought it might be interesting, to play around with.
Edit: the text file came from @kkoolpatz

I edited the OP, to make it clearer, and modified the method, slightly.
One other possibility. Backup your feature.xml. Navigate to /system/csc/SPR/system/csc. Copy feature.xml. Navigate back to /system/csc. Paste the new file, over writing the old one. Open the new feature.xml, and change:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</
CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
to:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</
CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
(You're changing 'false' to 'true,)
Save, exit,
Set permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot
Very useful. Thank you.
Thanks for the clarification in the OP. I now got it to work. Problem I had before was that I did not realize that I was simply changing false to true. Super simple.

Great! It's good to hear that the instructions where clear enough to be followed. There's a lot more that can be enabled, such as using the camera during calls. It's the same principle, just a matter of searching through the feature.xml, and flipping or changing the variables.

Geez, i wonder why Sprint wont include this option by default. On the at&t Note 3, the option to silence is already baked in.

Open ES File Explorer and tap the phone menu button. A pane should open on the left side of the screen. Scroll to the bottom, and turn "Root Explorer" on. When the Super User prompt pops up, be sure to allow it.

I'm not sure what the problem is. ES File had some problems with root, about a year ago, but I thought they got that fixed. I use it everyday, but not the root functions. Maybe you can try going into SuperSU, selecting ES File, and tapping "forget", then go back into ES, and accept the SU prompt.

I downloaded 'Root Browser' from the play store and this did the trick, ES Explorer is having root issues with the Note 3, well at least on my phone since no one else confirmed. I added the shutter menu (working) , enabled camera during calls (working), and tried to add a call button from the logs list but this didn't appear to work.
Thanks again!
